Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Maritime and Marine Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Artificial reefs are man made structures placed on the sea floor for the purpose of providing shelter, nutrition, protection and breeding areas for fish and other sea creatures. In this research study, not only the suitable areas for artificial reefs in the region were determined but also the applicability of artificial reefs in the Black Sea was investigated. Within the scope of this study, an artificial reef built up in Ünye District of Ordu by use of 100 concrete blocks and 3 coach scraps was monitored for two years, a second reef was built by 70 blocks in Mersin Village of Perşembe District and has still been monitored.
